Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

For Shen Yuan, from the moment the Great Tao Manifestation materialized, the outcome had already been determined.

Whether it was the 10 Realms Soul Pursuit Curse or the Seven Kills Sky Seizing Curse executed by sacrificing the whole Qilian Demon Realm, their nature was essentially that of curse magic.

The Great Tao Manifestation revealed a murderous intent through the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, which served as the source for the Curse Killing Way. The curse magic from the lower realms posed no threat to Shen Yuan.

With the difference in cultivation between Shen Yuan and the Taoist Doyen of Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens being nominal, the Great Tao Manifestation's status grid completely crushed his opponent. Using the curse magic as a medium to deploy the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power didn't even require the completion of the ritual.

The Heavenly General Great Divine Power annihilated the Tao Harmony Taoist Doyen, the newly advanced true form of Demon Saint Cang Wu crumbled, leaving no further threat.

His gaze looked down upon Demon Saint Cang Wu, as a calm voice echoed across this shattered firmament.

"I'm very curious, what kind of deal did the Exalted One impostor offer you to justify risking the entire Qilian Demon Realm to ambush me?"

Demon Saint Cang Wu's pupils trembled, and he exclaimed reflexively:

"An impostor Exalted One? Impossible! How could that Exalted One possibly be fake?"

Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with pity as he looked at Demon Saint Cang Wu.

"You do not understand the true meaning of what it is to be an Exalted One. If it were really the Clarity Void Exalted One, why would he hide away for eight thousand years in the minor Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, having never emerged before?

Though the power of the Highest Heaven may not be sufficient to break through the Great Schism created by the current of the Human Path, reversing the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge would be effortlessly simple.

Even divine retribution is something a Great Daoist of the Highest Heaven can dismiss with a wave of the hand. If a true Highest Heaven Daoist wanted to kill me, why would they need to resort to using you?"

"The one from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens is nothing but White Cloud Child from the lower ranks of the Clarity Void Exalted One, a thief who has stolen treasures belonging to the Highest Heaven."

Demon Saint Cang Wu's pupils widened, his eyes still filled with intense shock and disbelief.

However, Shen Yuan had no interest in further discussing the matter and simply spoke indifferently:

"Speak of your deal with Golden Immortal Bai Yun."

Upon hearing this, Demon Saint Cang Wu hastily looked towards Shen Yuan.

"If I disclose the deal with Golden Immortal Bai Yun, can the Taoist spare my life?"

"No."

Shen Yuan curtly declared the fate of Demon Saint Cang Wu.

Demon Saint Cang Wu's expression turned exceedingly grim: "Then why should I speak?"

Shen Yuan did not respond; behind him, the Great Tao Manifestation's spirit soul manifested a haunting silence, followed by the spontaneous emergence of Netherworld energy across a hundred-mile radius.

In just a few moments, the space transformed into a Netherworld domain, as if the kingdom of Hell had descended from this Netherworld domain.

The Great Tao Manifestation appeared like the Netherworld Emperor incarnate, gaze piercing through Demon Saint Cang Wu's past and present.

After the Great Tao Manifestation merged many Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer divine skills to complete its transformation, all the pre-cultivation-stage divine skills stepped into the first realm through this metamorphosis, including the long-acquired Unimpeded Netherworld Mystical Power.

The first realm of the Unimpeded Netherworld Mystical Power could already evolve a small-scale kingdom of Hell, and scrutinizing the past and present lives of the dead was a trivial matter.

If it weren't for Shen Yuan's concern over possible traps left within Demon Saint Cang Wu's memory by Golden Immortal Bai Yun, he would have already executed him and searched his soul.

Demon Saint Cang Wu's eyes nearly split open with fury as he gritted his teeth and said:

"As expected of the Supreme Taoist, such a cruel approach!"

"But even if you have Netherworld Mystical Power to scrutinize my life, you will still need my True Spirit and spirit soul as the medium.

If I were to destroy my True Spirit intentionally, even the Supreme Taoist would be helpless."

Shen Yuan remained expressionless, and seeing this, Demon Saint Cang Wu quickly added:

"I dare not hope to keep my life, but I only ask the Supreme Taoist to allow my True Spirit to enter the Netherworld to be reincarnated.

If you agree, I will surely leave nothing unsaid!"

Shen Yuan's gaze turned icy: "Are you threatening me?"

"Not at all! I only ask for a sliver of hope."

Shen Yuan, upon observing this, shook his head slightly with a hint of sarcasm, and then stretched out his right hand toward Demon Saint Cang Wu.

The Qi of heaven and earth started to converge towards Shen Yuan's right hand, and once again, an unassailable sense of oppression descended upon Demon Saint Cang Wu.

At that moment, Demon Saint Cang Wu suddenly realized that his efforts not only failed to gain him any chance of survival but also foolishly destroyed any opportunity for escape.

After the fragmentation of the Demon Saint's original form, most of his divine skill cultivation was already lost, leaving Demon Saint Cang Wu powerless against Shen Yuan's mystical power.

A flash of fierce resentment flickered in his eyes, and the spirit of the Demon Saint began to self-destruct willingly.

Believing that death was inevitable, Demon Saint Cang Wu had no intention of allowing Shen Yuan to succeed.

The disintegrating True Spirit rapidly dissipated, and even Shen Yuan, who controlled the Unimpeded Netherworld Mystical Power, was unable to stop the True Spirit from crumbling.

It was at this moment, a detached voice slowly sounded.

"From the moment I stepped into the Qilian Demon Realm, your life and death were already under my control."

Heavenly General Great Divine Power·Rebounding Wind Returning Fire!

Time miraculously began to flow backward, and the disintegrated True Spirit began to reconstruct, returning to its original intact state.

During this process, Demon Saint Cang Wu was horrified to find that he had lost control over his own True Spirit; even seeking death had become a luxury beyond reach.

In the next moment, five fingers wrapped in the boundless Qi of heaven and earth crossed through space, grabbing hold of Demon Saint Cang Wu's True Spirit.

The Netherworld Treasure, the Three Lives Stone, projected itself into this Netherworld domain, and everything Demon Saint Cang Wu had experienced was laid bare before Shen Yuan's eyes.

Everything was as Shen Yuan anticipated.

In Demon Saint Cang Wu's memory, Shen Yuan saw that the Taoist from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens used an Immortal Artifact to conceal the Tianji, approaching the Demon Saint Cang Wu in the Qilian Demon Realm to conspire.

With the Great Schism severing ties to the Immortal Realm for ten thousand years, eliminating the possibility of ascension, the Taoist of the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens claimed that Golden Immortal Bai Yun held the Heavenly Court's Register of Immortals, capable of ennobling and granting everlasting life to gods and immortals.
